The author of Raising Lifelong Learners, Lucy McCormick Calkins, admired the way British classrooms are organized. Here’s an example. I should do the same at home except we’d need at least three of these modules. (February 12, 2007)

It’s a honey and lemon weekend. Ooooh, the cold has defeated us. (January 14, 2007)
The ironing board is still hanging out in the living room although I finished ironing three days previous. Hope I’ll find the strength to put it back before I have to bring it up again. (January 13, 2007)
Houseboats on the River Thames. (January 12, 2007)
Waiting for the bus that never came. Ended up having to take the Tube back then a taxi so that I would make it in time to pick up Stephen from school. (January 11, 2007)
The first family portrait I can recall Stephend drawing. I’m wearing a Mickey Mouse shirt, Marv is wearing a Cars Lightning McQueen one, and Stephen is wearing a Cars The King shirt. Sorry about the poor picture quality. (January 10, 2007)

Perfect kite flying weather (not us). These boys attached the kite to some sort of go-cart. The winds were so strong and the kite so big that they became airborne at times. (January 4, 2007)
My mousepad Christmas present. (January 3, 2007)
TV-DVD-stereo set-up in guest bedrom so Marv and Stephen won’t fight over the TV in the living room. I remember when I imagined not having a TV at all in my idealistic days, then it was no TV in the bedroom, and now…. Talk about a slippery slope. (January 2, 2007)

Stephen’s calendar. Only two more days until 2007! (December 30, 2006)
Domino’s Pizza just opened a new store near us. W00t! Their mushrooms are definitely much plumper. (December 29, 2006)
The timer that reminds me to get my butt going. Stephen used to be so frightened of it that when I tried using it once, he was in such a hurry to get away that he smacked his face against the edge of the dining room table. Fortunately, he doesn’t bruise too easily. (December 28, 2006)
Stephen and I playing with the dominos he received as a gift from the Leongs (thank you!). The rule was that no two dominos of the same color could touch each other. After I took this picture, I found three places where he didn’t follow directions. Can you find those spots? Hint: 2 sets of yellow adjoining each other.

Tagged by Angela at Breastfeeding 1-2-3 for a “come as you are” blog party. I usually have my hair clipped back while I work and since I haven’t moved my “office” table back to the guest room nor have I cleaned it off, the messy dining room table is as good as any. (December 14, 2006)
Stephen had his Christmas play yesterday! Only two mornings with the little monsters in his class and I had a massive headache and horrid malaise all the rest of the day. A teacher I’m not although I enjoyed getting to know the kids better. (December 13, 2006)
Our 2-foot Christmas tree and Stephen’s half-eaten Christingle in the front. (Orange with a candle in it symbolizing Christ, etc. He even knew that the red band symbolizes the blood of Jesus. Yikes!) (December 12, 2006)
